All faction restrictions of this starship can be removed by having a level 65 KDF character or by purchasing the Cross Faction Flying unlock from the Zen Store.

Players can obtain this starship from the Zen Store for 2,500  under the name Andorian Kumari Escort - Charal Class. This ship can be purchased individually, or as part of the Andorian Kumari Vessels Bundle for 5,000 .

Overview

The Kumari was the first ship of its class, placed under the command of Commander Thy'lek Shran in 2142. This iconic Andorian vessel served as a foundation for the development of many later ships, but the Kumari line is a direct improvement over the original Kumari design using the latest developments in Federation technology.

The Charal class offers a balance between offensive firepower and defensive staying power.

Class variants

Class	Information
Charal class	SKIN UNLOCK: Free with this starship The Charal class has a distinctively bulkier and more armored appearance than its peers. The dorsal and ventral blisters have a distinct appearance, its hull is also by default a slightly more purple-red shade. The forward hull is more blunted, and the Wing Cannons are placed at the tips of the wings rather than several meters inward. The cannons themselves are also thicker and have more a pronounced "recoil" animation when firing.
Khyzon class	SKIN UNLOCK: Andorian Khyzon Escort, 2,500 The Khyzon class maintains a similar appearance to the Kumari escort, but has a less aggressive profile. It lacks the dorsal and ventral fins, and its wing cannons are less tapered.
Kumari class	SKIN UNLOCK: Andorian Kumari Escort, 2,500 The Kumari-class design is sharp and tapered, with a forward hull resembling a flattened bullet. Its wings extend out to the sides of the rear hull and have a slight fold. Its distinctive Wing Cannons are mounted a few meters inward towards the main hull maintain a tapered shape, accented by a pair of protrusions enclosing the cannons. Small fins protrude from the dorsal and ventral hull to give a sharper appearance.
Chimesh class	SKIN UNLOCK: Andorian Chimesh Pilot Escort, 3,000 The Chimesh class facilitates the experimental technologies of Dewan design, this variant allows for increased Science bridge officer seating and consoles, packing additional utility and other surprises into an already deadly package.
Kuthar class	SKIN UNLOCK: Andorian Kuthar Pilot Escort, 3,000 The Kuthar class draws upon Lethean sensibilities of subsystem reinforcement and computer processing speeds, and therefore offers additional Engineering bridge officer seating and consoles, while sacrificing very little in terms of its offensive capabilities.
Thozyn class	SKIN UNLOCK: Andorian Thozyn Pilot Escort, 3,000 The Thozyn class reflects the Andorian military heritage and philosophies of overwhelming firepower and strategic superiority, and allows for additional Tactical bridge officer seating and consoles as a result.
